Hi all,
Is it possible to have an esp8266 broadcast a sensor reading as it's SSID?
I'm using the Arduino IDE with a ESP-01 module.
Better yet, could I get a module to scan nearby access points, read their RSSI, and also act simultaneously as a soft AP that changes its SSID to a phrase indicating the RSSI of nearby access points?
For example; four APs are detected...AP1 has an RSSI = -96. AP2 RSSI = -46. AP3 RSSI = -89. AP4 RSSI = -21.
The central beacon could then change its SSID to "AP1-96,AP2-46,AP3-89,AP4-21"
Then the dynamic SSID could be used to locate that module using the RSSI of the four beacons as coordinates?
I imagine update speed and WIFI scan speed might be an issue for this?
